Rob McElhenney finally sees Wrexham dream realised after National League banned request

Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney has expressed his delight after the Welsh side were allowed to release their new all-black third kit ahead of the new season.

Having previously been blocked from wearing black in the National League, Wrexham's promotion to League Two has allowed McElhenney's dream to be realised after "three years" of trying. On Wednesday, the Red Dragons - who are owned by the American actor and Canadian star Ryan Reynolds - unveiled their new away and third kits for the 2023-24 campaign.

Made by Macron and featuring United Airlines as the club's new front-of-shirt sponsor, Wrexham's black third strip will be worn when they're unable to wear their white and green away kit. It features a red trim on the sleeves and rear of the shirt, but most notably has a pattern on the front which is inspired by Wrexham and North Wales' coal mining history.
